Mogul Mark Cuban recently announced that he will be leaving the show ‘Shark Tank’ after it’s 16th season. He told The Hollywood Reporter:
“I just want to have a couple summers with my teens before they go off on their own. Nothing to do with the show. I love it. I love being on it. I love what [it] represents and how it motivates entrepreneurs around the world.”
Cuban has three children, Alexis (20), Alyssa (17), and Jake (14), with his wife, Tiffany Stewart. He went onto explain:
“It sends the message the American Dream is alive and well. We’ve trained … multiple generations of entrepreneurs that if somebody can come from Iowa or Sacramento or wherever, and show up on the carpet of ‘Shark Tank’ and show their business and get a deal, that’s going to inspire generations of kids.”
